- Tomatoes have done very well (heirloom, very yummy, had to freeze a bunch since I didn't feel like canning until I could do it once)
- Cucumbers died, probably due to lack of water while I was on travel
- Carrots were actually decent this year (raised beds have nice deep, soft soil)
- Green beans were very nice. I grow a combination of bush beans in the garden and pole beans in a teepee. Bush gives one or two harvests
Early crops (broccoli, cauliflower) didn't do so well, mostly from neglect. The peas did pretty well, but the kids usually eat them off the vine before they can be brought inside.
About ready to plan for another round of cool weather crops for the fall.
I use the square foot gardening (
http://www.squarefootgardening.com/) approach and can grow quite a bit in 2 4x4 blocks.
